Wish I could tell you from first hand experience on the Star, but we haven't had the pleasure of sailing on her----yet We've sailed on the Sun, Sea, Dawn, Caribbean, Emerald, and Royal Princess. We've not been disappointed with any of their ships. You've got a great cabin! We've only been able to get balcony cabins, but they have been wonderful. Good closet space and storage space. All of the Princess ships are immaculate, their service is impeccable, and the food is great. They have wonderful pastries, especially for breakfast. On the Royal they had a waffle station out by the pool. They were fantastic Belgian Waffles, with wonderful toppings. The Star is a relatively new ship, so she should be in excellent condition. They're always working on them, anyway. Not sure if f-mattox has sailed on her or not, I think he's done every ship in their fleet. Hopefully, someone on our board has sailed her and can answer your questions specifically.
